RE: Do Our Bodies Absorb Genetic Material From Foods/Organisms We Eat? Discussing Some Conflicting Results
I have been curious about this for a while! Good work by RNA Journal, and thank you for putting it all together. I'd be fairly surprised if genetic material does indeed affect us in this manner, but there seems to be fair amount of work pending on the subject yet.
Indeed, the data in the literature seems to be conflicting just a bit. However this particular work was pretty convincing that the prior studies results were a function of contamination. I suspect that a larger study is in the works (based on comments in the conclusions of this publication) that will be more definitive. So hopefully in the next few years we can put the issue to rest (well.. or blow it wide open again).
